the sussex archaeological society
Activities & Mission
We are a membership organisation for those interested in the history and archaeology of Sussex. We open six historic properties to the visiting public. Each property has its own museum and provides education services for children. We are a research organisation and carry out our own excavations as well as providing support and advice for other local researchers in both history and archaeology.
